Removing smoke smell from piano
I just bought a used piano and it stinks from what smells like years of
cigarette smoke. I spent an hour cleaning the exterior of the cabinet with water and vinegar but it still smells really bad. Will the smell eventually dissipate or is there anything else I can try? |

You may try putting some charcoal inside and / or a small wide glass half
filled with white vinegar.

Before giving up hope, you could try calling a wood restoration business, or a smoke damage specialist to see if they have any suggestions. Nan |
